Legacy Giving & Planned Gifts
Wills & Estate Giving
Legacy giving is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact. By including Our Place in your will, you ensure that your generosity supports your community long into the future. Legacy giving also offers unique benefits, such as reducing estate taxes and capital gains. Your gift, big or small, can provide shelter, meals, and hope for those in need. Join us in creating a better future – your legacy can make a difference.
Donor Advised Funds
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are a powerful way to support Our Place Society with flexibility and ease. By directing your DAF contributions to us, you can help provide essential services and support for those experiencing homelessness and poverty. We ensure your funds are managed transparently and wisely, maximizing the benefit to our community. Partner with us through your DAF to create lasting change.
Securities
We gratefully accept donations of publicly listed securities such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. This is a very tax-efficient way to help nourish those in need because the Canada Revenue Agency does not tax capital gains on publicly listed securities which are donated directly to a registered charity (rather than first being sold). In addition, you will receive a tax receipt for the full value of your donation when the securities are transferred.

Our team would love to answer any questions you have about legacy giving and planned gifts.
